Featured Events

Starts April 18th : Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training Program

Led by Janice Clarfield, this program is for yoga teachers and teachers in training and professionals who work with pregnant women (childbirth educators, doctors, doulas, massage therapists, midwives, nurses) who have an established yoga practice.

April 11th-13th : Yin Yoga: Embodied Awareness with Sarah Powers

Sustaining our Inspiration on the Yogic Path

Whether we are neophytes or the most dedicated practitioner, we all may experience plateaus, times when we may lack inspiration, or flounder in our practice.

This workshop will include a balanced practice that encourages both vitality and insight. We will be moving through both a passive Yin practice of asana along with a flow (Yang) style, geared towards promoting an energized ease of being and clarity of mind for meditation. A guided and silent mindfulness meditation will follow the yoga sessions.

April 19th : Earth Day Weekend at Semperviva: Yoga Detox Flow Class

This workshop is an opportunity to detoxify your body, unclutter your mind, and prepare for the spring season with renewed health and vitality.

Through a series of pranayama (breathing techniques), twisting postures, and flows you will release all the heaviness of the winter season and move into Spring completely rejuvenated.

Our Detox Flow Class with Rachel Scott will be followed by a talk with Chartered Herbalist Kathleen Bird who will explain the benefits of using cleansing herbs to support your body through this process.

April 18th : Dave Stringer: A Leader of the Kirtan Movement

Kirtan is a folk form that arose from the devotional Bhakti yoga movement of 15th century India.

The primary musical feature of kirtan is the use of call and response, a figure that also deeply informs Western bluegrass, gospel music and jazz. The form is simple: a lead group calls out the melodies and the mantras. The crowd responds, clapping and dancing as the rhythms build and accelerate.
